Yes, but the end result is the same as a traditional intra-aortic baloon pump cath: Decreased afterload (force the heart must work against) and increased pefusion of coronary arteries. But is far less invasive in that the patient can be ambulatory and there isn't a balloon inside their descending aorta.
